Help with SD cards

Hi all,

I have a 1 gb SD card which I am using with my XDA IIi, however I only seem to get about 2 days use out of it then I disappears from my XDA, it just doesn’t exist and all my maps and anything else stored on the card go too. When I use MS ActiveSync the card is normally available to explore but now I can’t. I tried the card in a friends PDA, it wouldn’t read it either. I thought the card was corrupt so I sent it back, and it was replaced with another. I copied all my files across again, and two days later, it all happens again. Am I doing anything wrong? Please help.

Many thanks (again) Embarassed

John

Hi, thanks for the link, but I can't really find anything that is simularto my problem. Are there compatibility issues with SD cards, mine is a "choice only" OEM manufacturer Toshiba. According to the EBay listing anyway. Anyone know if these are bad??

Hi Pete2, I havejust got refund sorted for the old SD card and have placed an order for 1 x TS1GSD80 Transcend 1GB Ultra Performance Secure Digital Card (80X). I hope this one works better and lasts more than 2 days. Thanks for you help.

Cheers!
